The Reapers' Meal
Soak wheatberries overnight in water that is at least 2″ above the level of the berries. Drain well. Line a large bowl with watercress and place the wheatberries in the middle, forming a large mound. Grate the unpeeled squash over the berries. With a melon baller, scoop out the cantaloupe and drop the balls around the edge of the mound.
Whisk together the lemon juice, walnut oil, and mustard. Stir in garlic that has been forced through a press. Add salt and pepper. Pour over the contents of the bowl. Add a sprig or two of crushed mint to the top of the mound. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Yield: 8 servings
14 At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, "Come over here. Have some bread and dip it in the wine vinegar." When she sat down with the harvesters, he offered her some roasted grain. She ate all she wanted and had some left over.
15 As she got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, "Even if she gathers among the sheaves, don't embarrass her.
16 "Rather, pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up, and don't rebuke her."
Ruth 2:14–16, New International Version—United Kingdom
The Book of Ruth, from which this text is taken, is one of the few books in the Bible named for a woman. It is an important book for several reasons. First, it shows that at various times throughout its history, Israel did tolerate, and was quite friendly to, marriage outside of its strict laws. Ruth is also an important figure because it is through her lineage that St. Matthew traces the genealogy of Jesus back to Abraham through her great-grandson David, demonstrating that Jesus was both a righteous heir of the Covenant and of royal stock, worthy to be called a "king." And there are other reasons the book is seen to be one of the real jewels of the Bible. It is a simple tale, beautifully told; some feminists hold it in high regard for its portrayal of Naomi and Ruth as strong, resolute women, surviving against great odds. Historically speaking, it gives us a glimpse of the daily agricultural life of Israel at the time of the Judges, before the monarchy established by Saul, David, Solomon, and their heirs. And it shows the intricate workings of Jewish family law regarding the custom of Levirate marriage.2
In the three verses that we have here lifted out of the story of Ruth, we encounter her at a noontime meal. She was invited by Boaz to partake of the reapers' lunch, which is very unusual on several fronts. First, Jews did not routinely sit down with Gentiles for meals; though hospitality did dictate that one should offer food to strangers,3 there were proscriptions against eating at the same table with those outside of the Jewish faith. Second, Jewish men did not sit at table with women; women might serve the meal, but rarely if ever was it served to them. Boaz was proving himself to be a man of unique sensitivities.
Ruth was told to dip her bread in wine vinegar (in Hebrew, chomets), a sour concoction often made from unripe grapes, which commentators tell us was a typical reapers' repast. (Bread [in Hebrew, lechem], as used here, is a broad term, meaning not only some grain product, but food in general [sustenance], whatever form it might take.) Boaz also offered her roasted grain (the KJV says "parched corn," though corn as we know it did not exist in the Middle East at that time).
Again, we learn a useful tidbit here about the cooking preparations of the biblical era. According to author Daniel Cutler, "raw ears of grain could be made more palatable by roasting or "parching" them."
The heat also breaks down the starches and makes the cereal more digestible. Parching was accomplished in two ways. One was simply to hold the stalks in a flame for a few moments. This was an especially convenient meal in the fields and probably constituted the lunch Ruth and Boaz shared during the barley harvest.4
The heat also breaks down the starches and makes the cereal more digestible. Parching was accomplished in two ways. One was simply to hold the stalks in a flame for a few moments. This was an especially convenient meal in the fields and probably constituted the lunch Ruth and Boaz shared during the barley harvest.4
The meal was apparently sufficiently filling, and gratefully eaten. Ruth even had grain to spare. And to boot, she was allowed to go back to the fields and glean more, a further generosity. Boaz went so far as to give his men instructions to drop some of the fruits of their hard work on the ground so that Ruth might pick them up without having to go and cut the barley in the field herself. They were probably willing to do so, in exchange for some favor or another from Ruth; but Boaz strongly advised them not to harass her, to let her be. In other words, the boss has his eye on her, so treat her well, if you know what is good for you!
But what of these "sheaves" Ruth was collecting? Just what is a sheaf? In modern parlance, a sheaf is a long leaf of some grain, such as wheat or barley. The Hebrew word is omer, which is also an ancient measure, being one-tenth of an ephah (see Appendix A). The biblical text reveals yet another bit of historical knowledge, namely that barley was so precious in ancient times that it was measured and used as collateral in trade.
So Ruth ended the day with a bounty much greater than she could have anticipated. She rushed back to Naomi to share her good fortune, and together they discussed what such providence could possibly mean. Naomi, wise in years, intuited Boaz" interest, and sent Ruth back at night with a mission, i.e., to let Boaz know of Ruth's availability. The plan worked, and Boaz made Ruth his bride, in a marriage in which, we suspect, her "salad days" were finally over.
The story of Ruth and Boaz in the Jewish tradition is closely linked to the festival of Shavuot, as it takes place during the time of the harvest. With this in mind, many of the recipes that follow are those used during the celebration of Shavuot.
Ruth was a Moabitess, a non-Jewish native from a country located between Edom and Ammon, on the eastern side of the Dead Sea, in what is modern-day Jordan. She and her sister, Orpah, married Israelite men who during a time of famine went with their parents to settle in Moab; the men died very early in their marriages. Their mother, a widow named Naomi, decided to return to Bethlehem, and she entreated her daughters-in-law to return to their own families. Orpah relented; but Ruth insisted that she not be separated yet again from loved ones, begging her mother-in-law to allow that they travel on together: "Where you go I will go," Ruth said to Naomi. "And
"As Ruth got up to glean, Boaz gave orders to his men, "Even if she gathers among the sheaves, don't embarrass her. Rather, pull out some stalks for her from the bundles and leave them for her to pick up." "
When the two widows arrived in Bethlehem, Ruth (whose name derives from an ancient Syrian word that means "woman companion" or "friend")1 had to find a way to set up a life for herself (women could not inherit property; because she had no children, there were not many options open to her). With the help of Naomi, she secured a place in the grain fields owned by a relative of her dead husband, a kind man by the name of Boaz (Hebrew for "fleet; strength"). Impressed by her loyalties, despite the hardships they had imposed, Boaz invited Ruth to glean the barley fields as an act of charity, and he gave her shelter, food, and extra attention. In the end, they were married (after some legal maneuvering), and Ruth had a son, Obed, who was the father of Jesse, who in turn was the father of King David.

Andijan in the Ferghana Valley, Uzbekistan, was the site of what many have termed a massacre in May of 2005. The story is complicated, but in brief, an armed raid on a local prison, followed by the occupation of a government building where local government officials were held hostage, led to a gathering of several thousand people in the town square. At some point, firing began and the end result was the death of what most believe to be hundreds of innocents, shot down by government troops. The official government version of these events was that the entire event was triggered by Islamic extremists and that only 187 people died - virtually all "extremists", government officials and troops. Eyewitnesses to the tragedy, however, (and there are many who fled the country and have been granted asylum in various countries) say that hundreds of innocent citizens, including women and children, were gunned down in the streets as they tried to flee.
Much of what took place at that time in Andijan may never be fully known. The government of Uzbekistan has refused demands from the west for an impartial investigation and, in fact, has intimated that the "extremists" who triggered the event were financed by the West.
Andijan is accessible for tourists as any other place in Ferghana Valley. The only special precautions would be not discussing the events of 2005 and respect the religion, as Ferghana Valley. especially Andijan, is the islamic region. Dressing should be modest.

Keep at least one veterinarian-approved book on cat care in your home at all times. Make sure it contains a section on emergency first-aid procedures.read more
When Christina Tourin's kitten, Tag, is fast asleep, her meowing can be heard from several rooms away. Tourin, a musician in Mount Laguna, Calif., believes that her jet-black kitty is so vocal because she's dreaming. And Tourin isn't alone in her belief. Many cat owners think that felines dream very similarly to the way people do -- and there's some convincing scientific evidence to back this up.
To Sleep Purrchance to Dream
Most mammals have the same sleep patterns that humans do, fluctuating between what are called Non-REM and REM sleep modes. During the REM stage -- which stands for Rapid Eye Movement -- scientists say our brain waves look identical to those produced when we're awake. It's during this stage that we dream. But to stop us from acting out our thoughts, the brain shuts off a switch to our major muscles, temporarily paralyzing us. In humans, REM happens about every 90 minutes. In cats, it occurs approximately every 25 minutes. Each episode lasts for several minutes.
"If you wake someone up during this [REM] phase of sleep, they can tell you about their dreams," says Dennis O'Brien, DVM, and Professor of Neurology at the University of Missouri's College of Veterinary Medicine in Columbia. "Cats show the same pattern. They go into REM … so the presumption is they're dreaming."
What Do They Dream About?
Researchers believe they generally know what felines dream about. Studies done on sleeping cats, in which the paralysis of REM was eliminated, resulted in the same behaviors seen in alert, prowling felines including ears pricked and walking -- even pouncing -- on imaginary prey.
Adrian Morrison, DVM, is one of the scientists who conducted the cat studies more than 40 years ago. Today the professor of behavioral neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia only works with laboratory rats, but the sight of a sleeping cat still fascinates him.
Signs of Dreamin'
Morrison says carefully observing your dozing pet can offer clues to when he or she enters into the dream state.
Catching a cat napping isn't difficult. Feline predators are active at dawn and dusk. However, the rest of the day -- upwards of 20 hours -- is spent curled up in a warm spot, snoozing. "That's their natural adaptation," explains Dr. O'Brien. "Cats are adapted to frequent, small meals; short hunts; and then they'll cat-nap in between."
Connection Between Health and Dreams
If your cat has trouble resting, it might be caused by a stressful environment or it could indicate an underlying medical condition. While a variety of diseases can affect a cat's sleep-wake cycle, Dr. O'Brien says the most common one seen in his clinic is hyperthyroidism, a treatable condition in which elevated thyroid hormones can cause increased activity level, restlessness and cranky behavior. The disease usually strikes senior cats. A blood test taken by your veterinarian can reveal if your kitty has the disorder.
Rest Easy
Healthy felines don't need much help getting shut-eye. But if they seem to be having a hard time getting their zzz's, there are ways you can help.
Tourin even goes a step further: she regularly plays the harp for her. The plucking of the strings has a soothing and relaxing effect, with most animals dozing off after listening for just a few minutes. Tag is no exception.
Before Tourin adopted Tag, a team of rescue workers found Tag huddled underneath a bathtub in a house destroyed by the recent southern California fires. And Tourin thinks she knows what Tag might dream about. After her kitten's harrowing fire experience, the feisty feline has shown an unusual love for water. "I think if Tag had her druthers, she'd like to jump into the bath tub with us," says Tourin. "I suspect that somewhere, maybe when the fires happened, a pipe broke. I can only guess there was a trickling bit of water that was her saving grace."

Sue says: Hi, I have a 6 month old female named Lily. She's the most affectionate little thing I've ever met. I got her from a pet store when she was approx. 6 weeks old. When it's time for bed, or she's even cuddling with me, she suckles on the top portion of her leg before she falls asleep. Is there something that I'm doing wrong that she feels she needs to do this? Thank you in advance!
edith coyle says: i have a siamese l0 yr old spinal problems walking he is bobtail was diagnosed with leukemia but retested without leukemia - what are his chances for survival, healthy just trouble walking. thank you
Lisa Johnson says: My 8 year old male tabby Lenny Kravitz has a "baby doll" that I named Petey. When Lenny K. plays with his baby he makes these wierd throaty meows and all kinds of funny noises. Why? and do u know what they mean?
Kerry says: We got a 1-yr-old female tabby from the Humane Society. She sleeps in our bed until about 3:30 am when she wakes us up licking our face. I can never get back to sleep. She wants to play. She's already had a litter. Should I introduce a kitten to her? I get the feeling she needs company. Thanks for your feedback.
Morgan says: I have a cat that I rescued as a stray. We have a great relationship now, but I believe she was mistreated before I got her, as she attacks feet and mistrusts people in general. She will also wake up from a sound sleep mewing like a kitten and won't stop until I come get her and hold her at which point she purrs loudly for a long time and doesn't want me to let her go. I think she's having nightmares, because this is the only time she makes that particular mewing sound.
paul says: durning the day she is great,rite up to the hour we go to bed,please help us to understand what is she wanting,respectfully,paul n louise

Guild Members Learn Final Cut Pro in Our Digital Education Program
As part of our digital media education program the WGAE developed and presented free, hands-on courses in Final Cut Pro (FPC) in 2010 and earlier this year. The first class was an intensive intro to FCP software at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) with funding provided by the Consortium for Worker Education. With help from the Actors Fund we set up classes with the Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), a public access broadcasting organization. This second series included basic camera training in addition to Final Cut Pro.
Approximately 70-75 members have participated in the FCP trainings so far. If you would like to participate in future trainings contact Rebecca Olerich at .Here's what some of the participants have said:
Olga Humphrey
The camera class at Manhattan Neighborhood Network was taught by Christen Cofer, an amazing and personable teacher with an encyclopedic knowledge of cameras that are used by filmmakers today. In just a few short sessions, we learned how to shoot with a Sony PD150 and light simple scenes. MNN and their staff are invaluable resources for WGAE writers looking to expand their expertise in our business. I can't recommend them enough!
John Erikson
It was real cool. Our teacher, Devorah, extended the class another three weeks to give us more practice. She was a trip. I learned all of the shortcut keys and some basic graphic and audio techniques. I knew the basics going in since I work as an editor and it was still beneficial. I would love to sign up for an advanced class if they ever develop it, especially one that encompasses FCP- Motion.
Matt Nelko
I cannot praise the Final Cut Pro non-linear video editing class highly enough. In today's marketplace, unfortunately, it's no longer enough to be an experienced and accomplished writer and producer. Clients and employers these days want a THREE-for-one: writing, producing, AND editing. And Final Cut Pro has clearly positioned itself as the gold standard of the industry. Increasingly, prospective clients and employers will ask "Do you know Final Cut?", and if your response isn't "Yes", their answer will be "No."
The instruction I received at Manhattan Neighborhood Network was more in-depth, hands-on, and personalized than I ever expected. They purposely keep the class sizes small — no more than eight students — so the instructor can be better able to work one-on-one with students when necessary. They ensure all students are on the "same page" so to speak, so we're all learning the same material together — no one is left behind. This eight week, two-days-per-week, three-hours-per-class course is on a par with taking a continuing education class at a college or university that would otherwise cost thousands of dollars. At the rates they charge — FREE! — There isn't a single WGA member who can afford NOT to make the time commitment to broaden their skill set and master this increasingly necessary and marketable skill.
The Apple Stores offer their own Final Cut classes at a modest cost, but with a considerably smaller time commitment. Honestly, there is no comparison between them and MNN. Apple assumes you're a Mac expert right off the bat, and the depth of instruction you get at Apple comes nowhere near what you get at MNN. I liken it to comparing a supermarket cooking demo to a full-fledged French cooking class at the Culinary Institute.
Do not feel intimidated if you aren't computer-savvy (or even Mac-savvy). The instructors assume you no nothing about Macs, and start you literally from Square One. A few of my WGA colleagues in my class had never used Macs before, and by the end of the class had ingested their own material and edited their own packages. Yes, you can do this too! Incidentally, the median *age* of my class was around 50. I had so much fun in this class I honestly hated to see it end."

Thanks for the opportunity to say a few words about the Manhattan Neighborhood Network, Final Cut Pro training program for Writers Guild Members.
Whoever came up with the plan to partner with MNN should be thanked profusely.
I'm very pleased to be in one of the first classes; and, let me say they are very valuable. I've priced similar training classes at various production houses and it could cost several thousands of dollars. A four-week, twice a week, small, class with hands-on experience; under the watchful eye of a dedicated and talented teacher; that's priceless.
I've taken the free, Apple introductory FCP classes at least three times. And each time, I walked away more confused, and frustrated than before. Not Apple's fault. They've got their own agenda, and to be honest, some of that is to sell programs and equipment. No problem. I love Apple.
MNN has fashioned a program for the non-techie. The technophobe, who wants to edit digital material without having to rip off the hood and tinker with the innards.
Devorah Hill is the perfect instructor for us writers who want to have more than a passing knowledge of the Digital Apple editing machine. She teaches in non-techie English. Her favorite instruction is "just breathe". Devorah also understands that most of us know how to tell stories; what we need to know is how to string the pictures and sounds together. My learning curve goes something like this. Once I get a chance to edit scenes together, somehow all the details of how to get the pictures into the computer; and manipulating sound and graphics all falls into place. And, of course, having Devorah on site to help deal with groans, whines, and whimpers makes the learning experience manageable.
So, thanks for the chance. With Devorah's help, I'm going to go to work on my own project. Hopefully, in the Spring, I'll have something to show you.
Raven Carter
I am so thankful for WGAE's partnership with MNN to provide writers with Final Cut Pro training. I began the program with basic working knowledge of Final Cut, and am now able to edit complete news and entertainment packages unsupervised and with ease. My training was both professionally and personally rewarding and has been beneficial to me in extraordinary ways

Geek Squad Insider Speaks Out
A common refrain we hear from the former and current Geek Squad employees we've been talking to is that Geek Squad used to be awesome. Robert Stephens built up an award-winning company with a reputation for being the best in the business. Then he sold it to Best Buy and they turned it to garbage.
One of these former Geek Squad employee shares his thoughts on their data recovery, outsourcing, upsell, and hiring of salesmen over techs policies, inside…
(Photo: bossco)
Geek Squad is a good company to work for. They have a nice ideology and cult-like attitude. However from my experiences working for GS, I have found that a majority of their Agents are rather ignorant about real tech work. Most of them only know how to run GeekSquad's MRI CD and Customizer. Hardly any of them even use ESD (electrostatic discharge) equipment. And don't believe the BS they tell you when they say "Our floor is specially treated for ESD". That would only matter if you are wearing heel straps, which they don't. Their prices are far overpriced. In some cased they charge double what their competitors charge. There are some very competent Agents, but most of them are from the pre-BBY buyout.
"Quality – We have an entire quality team whose responsibility is to ensure that our Agents have properly repaired the customers unit."
Was put into place after NUMEROUS complaints from Precincts and customers from the poor quality.
1. Data Recovery is not a big deal. They hook it up to any random desktop, run a recovery program (license costs about 1k a year), and click recover.
2. They outsource some of the repairs via a remote access application (AKA AJU or Agent Johnny Utah). These people are in countries that have no similar privacy laws that are in the US. So in other words, your computer with your saved bank passwords, government contacts, ETC; are being accessed by "Bob" in India, Pakistan, and various other countries around the world.
3. An Agent's RPT or Revenue Per Transaction is around $250.00. Which means if you are spending less than that, their goal is to get you to spend more.
4. Geek Squad hires people based on their Salesmen and Customer Service skills before they hire on their Technical Prowess. They would rather Train a salesman to be a tech than train a tech to be a salesman.
Based on what's been said here and previously, you might be better off taking your computer elsewhere for repairs. Unless you like the idea of a guy who used to work at Taco Bell fondling your laptop. Now we're sure there's some competent and even talented and enthusiastic folks doing repairs for Geek Squad, but there's enough of them that aren't to raise concerns for consumers. — BEN POPKEN

Æ : Aesthetic Effect
Investigating the User Experience of Data Visualization
by Nick Cawthon
This is the price your customers see. Edit list price
About the Book
Through results gathered from a large-scale online survey of 285 participants from around the world, this research empirically investigated the assessment of aesthetic in 11 common data visualization display techniques. Visualizations represented in this research were generated from an identical hierarchical data set and visually normalized to avoid unwanted implications of default application parameters or personal preferences. Tested visualization display techniques were of a wide variety, spanning from categories such as node-linking, hyperbolic displays, space-filling to abstract representations. The origins of these display techniques were as varied as their method - tested visualizations were from academic institutions, personal hobbyists and open-source applications. Participants in this survey were asked to complete two sections - data retrieval and aesthetic response. In the data retrieval section, the 11 tested display techniques were used for timed question-and-answer tasks in which participants utilized the visualizations to answer questions regarding the hierarchical data set. For the aesthetic response section, participants provided quantitative aesthetic feedback while looking at the display technique as they would a painting, the presentation of the visualization viewed in isolation. Participants then provided qualitative feedback on their rationale for their subjective perception of the display technique. This rationalization of aesthetic response was queried for each visualization as a stand-alone entity, as well as in a group comparison. Components of this survey were randomized, along with the sequence of tested visualizations and their applied questions. Results from subjective participant response shows data visualizations that portray non-orthogonal, organic qualities, receive higher aesthetic ranking. No categorical distinction was apparent in aesthetic ranking, as top-rated displays exist independently of category. Provided rationale further correlates these qualities with metrics of user experience, illustrating that aesthetic display techniques experience a delay in task abandonment. Proper evaluation of aesthetic and attractiveness is imperative to increase the base of first-time users to data visualization, as well as increase a higher level of repeat usage through a positive user experience. We have measured this in a randomized setting and confirmed this standpoint from two different methods within this study. If this survey is repeated, we hold confidence that the spread of results will be consistent.

Fits perfectly which is so surprising since I picked it out off the internet. Nice material. The only thing I struggled with was the website didn't have quite enough description or photo of the product. There were 2 types of suede dash covers, one had a name that was not descriptive so I went with the one called brushed suede. It worked out but I still wonder what the other cover looked like.

Featured News - Current News - Archived News - News Categories
National Grid has geared up to address any electric service issues that may result from extreme winds. Potentially heavy rain and very strong wind gusts are expected across the company's upstate New York service area in Western New York, and moving east.
To prepare, the company marshaled its in-house and contractor crews for deployment to key areas of its service territory and readied equipment in the event of weather severe enough to cause power outages.
National Grid customers who experience outages should call National Grid's outage line at 1-800-867-5222 to expedite restoration. While advanced equipment can often alert the company to outages, customers should never assume the company knows their service is affected; they should call to report an outage. The company also encourages customers to keep in touch throughout the storm by texting the word STORM to NGRID (64743), and following National Grid on Twitter, Facebook and its new U.S. Connecting website.
National Grid's first priority is the safety and well-being of its customers and employees, and urges extreme caution during and after any weather event.
Tips for Wind Safety and Wires Down
•Strong winds can cause local electrical service interruptions. It's a good idea to have a number of working flashlights, at least one battery-operated radio and an extra supply of batteries in your home.
•Check on elderly family members, neighbors and others who may need assistance during an outage period.
•People who depend on electric-powered life support equipment, such as a respirator, should let National Grid know. To register as a National Grid life support customer, call the company's customer service contact center at 1-800-642-4272.
•People should consider any downed wire they see to be live and dangerous. If you see any fallen lines, broken poles or trees touching wires, stay clear of the surrounding area and contact National Grid immediately.
•Customers with generators should be sure to install them outside to avoid deadly carbon monoxide. Open windows are inadequate for safely ventilating a generator. To ensure safety, operate generators only outdoors. Before installing generators, be sure to disconnect from National Grid's system by shutting off the main breaker located in the electric service panel.
•Finally, note National Grid's emergency outage reporting number, 1-800-867-5222, and keep it handy. Reporting outages as soon as possible helps expedite restoration.

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Savory Whipped Cream
Who said whipped cream had to be for dessert? For years I've been making a savory whipped cream seasoned with herbs, lemon zest and capers and serving it with smoked salmon and crackers. I got the idea from a restaurant I worked at in France 15 years ago.
So here is my top-secret (well, not really), impossible-to-screw-up (yes, really) recipe. Once you get acquainted with savory whipped cream, open your fridge and branch out -- right now, I'm really into a plain horseradish version that's terrific with roast beef (a recipe attributed to Mary Lincoln, the wife of Abraham Lincoln). You could also do:
Hot smoked paprika (to go with brandade)
Creme fraiche, ginger and lime (to dollop on top of corn soup)
Herb Cream with Capers
Serves 4
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped flat leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
- 1/2 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Coarse or kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
In an electric mixer fitted with a whisk, beat the heavy cream until it holds a stiff peak. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

(AP) Peterson on son's death: 'It's a crazy situation'
By JON KRAWCZYNSKI
AP Sports Writer
Adrian Peterson says he never wavered in his decision to play against the Carolina Panthers, two days after his 2-year-old son died in an alleged case of child abuse.
Peterson rushed for 62 yards on 10 carries in the Minnesota Vikings' 35-10 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He says he doesn't expect others to understand why he decided to play. He says getting on the field helped him cope.
Peterson declined to talk about the relationship he had with the boy. He went to see the boy in a Sioux Falls, S.D., hospital Thursday. The mother's boyfriend is charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
Peterson says he can't describe what it's been like to go through the situation.

Mission Statement
The Mission of the Beat the Streets USA Wrestling Program is to expand Wrestling in America's Urban Centers helping at-risk kids through discipline, structure while developing wrestling from the youth through the Olympic level in these cities. The goal is to provide opportunities for boys and girls in the activity of wrestling, building lifelong skills.
Why Wrestling?
The purpose of youth sports is to provide experiences for future life activities by introducing the concepts and skills of a myriad of sports available in the United States. Wrestling, the oldest activity of all, is but one.
Young people are attracted to wrestling because they have been "practicing" the skills of the sport since birth. A basic endeavor of any infant, at about two-three weeks old, is the back arch as an effort to roll from back to stomach. Parents boast the accomplishment. A child steps onto a mat and makes contact with another; each is a winner. The taste for competition is born. Wrestling is fun.
Every child can wrestle. Competitors are paired by approximate size, weight, and age. Athletes need not be tall in order to make the team, as in basketball; athletes don't have to be big, as in football; and athletes don't have to be speedy, as in track. Athletes of all shapes and sizes can excel and enjoy the sport. Children enjoy physical activity that makes them strong and improves conditioning and proper nutrition. The result is a positive self-image and healthy self-esteem.
Wrestling is a great conditioner. It is a sport in which each athlete is in constant motion. Everyone on the mat is participating in the drills; everyone is involved in live wrestling and the action; everyone improves their stamina, strength, agility, explosiveness, and power. It is the universal conditioner of a myriad of sports and can enhance the skills of competitors in football, lacrosse, soccer, track, cross-country, ad infinitum.
There are innumerable reasons kids enjoy wrestling and innumerable benefits from participation. However, the ultimate benefit of this form of competition is the ability to meet a challenge and never let it "BEAT YOU!" Mental toughness is the "heart" of an athlete and no sport teaches it better than wrestling.
The wrestler quickly learns that only he/she and the opponent are on the mat and that they alone must make it happen. The wrestler is in sole control and responsible for the outcome -- no one else made a bad pass; no one else dropped the ball; no one else missed the block; no one else drew the penalty; no one else missed the rebound. The individual wrestler learns that hard work, practice, and dedication, reduce mistakes and increases personal success. The individual wrestler develops a mental toughness and a work ethic that enables him/her to excel and achieve victory. This inherent requirement of wrestling is critical to success in every sport as well as to success in academics and to success in life.

Motorcycle helmets have become a necessity, often a legal requirement when riding a motorcycle or scooter. But not only do helmets come in all shapes and sizes, and more importantly, in good or poor quality, helmets have a reasonably predefined shelf life.
How long do you keep a helmet? A lot depends on the materials used inside the helmet, and the way you treat them. The older helmets used polycarbonate as base material inside the helmet. They were subject to ultraviolet light (UV) and deteriorated quite quickly, so you will not see many of these in circulation anymore. Nowadays, an anti-UV material is used to protect the helmets, but more importantly, helmets are mostly made out of fibers, which are highly resistant to UV light.
The inside of the helmet is made in great parts out of polystyrene which is a great material to reduce the impact your head will receive in case of an accident. But the material reduces effectiveness over time.
Research has shown that polystyrene loses 2% per year in its effectiveness due to simple evaporation. So with basic mathematics, in 5 years, you've lost 10% of your protection, and in 10 year, you've lost 20%.
The reduction of the helmet's effectiveness due to evaporation is a simple rule of thumb. More importantly is how do you treat your helmet, and how often do you use it. If the helmet is used daily, it will deteriorate more quickly then if you leave your helmet in your cupboard for days on end. Not only is there a reduction in the protection, but also the mechanisms deteriorate due to wear & tear, like for flip-up helmets. Leaving your helmet on your motorcycle fuel tank as many people do, will reduce its effectiveness more quickly thanks to the fuel evaporation. The fuel vapors that evaporate attack the materials inside your helmet, and the inside starts shrinking.
Cleaning your helmet is good, but if water gets inside the helmet, specially water with soap mixed in (never ever use anything but water and soap to clean the outside), it will again reduce your protection effectiveness. If you can, get a helmet with a removable liner. That's easier to wash. Applying a hair dryer to the inside is nice & easy to clean and dry the helmet, but any temperature over 140° F ( 60°C) will deteriorate the helmet.
As you can see, helmets deteriorate by themselves even without using them, but taking care of the helmets will go a long way.
Helmet manufacturers used to state that you needed to change your helmet every five years. But if you treat your helmet carefully and with respect, you can always use your helmet for longer periods. Or if your head is precious to you, get a 2nd helmet and alternate. A 10% loss of protection is survivable, but 20% is not.
To look after your helmet, here are some easy tips:
- When not in use, place your helmet inside a dark and dry place (a cupboard for example)
- Never place your helmet on your fuel tank, preferably as far away as possible from the tank
- Clean the outside with water & soap, taking care that water does not enter the inside of the helmet
- If you drop your helmet hard on the floor, seriously consider replacing it
Remember that all helmets are not equal. An expensive helmet is not necessarily better than a cheaper one. One of the main sources for the quality of a helmet is maintained by the British government. The SHARP database is the reference for most helmets. Thanks to a rigorous testing protocol, a comprehensive listing of helmets and their associated quality, is maintained on the site for all to see. And best of all, it's a free access to all.
So before you splurge on a new helmet, check SHARP to see how good the helmet is. And treat your helmet nicely. This way your helmet will save your life.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Denny Kearney and Charles Brockett each had two goals and Broc Little added three assists as the Yale men's hockey team raced past the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT), 8-0, in an exhibition contest before 2,263 at Ingalls Rink.
The Bulldogs, defending ECAC Hockey champions, outshot the Ridgebacks 48-21 while scoring on four of eight man-advantages a night before the regular-season opener. Six different Elis lit the lamp and two Yale goalies combined for 21 saves.
Freshman Nick Maricic, who split the game with junior Ryan Rondeau, stopped all 12 shots he saw over the first 30 minutes. Rondeau got tested a few times with tough shots in the third before finishing with nine stops.
The Bulldogs jumped all over an early two-man advantage with Kearney hitting the net twice from the same spot at the goal line extended. The junior wing found a rebound a few feet from the right post and tucked it behind Jeff Dawson (40 saves) just 1:41 into the first period. Dawson saw 24 shots in the opening frame.
Kearney had the puck on his stick a minute later and snuck it past the UOIT goalie with the Bulldogs still on the man-advantage.
"This was a good opportunity for us to see the guys in a game-like situation, and we don't get many chances before the season starts," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach of Hockey. "It was great to see a lot of players chipping in tonight."
The first-period onslaught continued. The Ridgebacks could not clear the puck from their own zone. Mark Arcobello slipped a puck under Dawson at 6:41 to make it 3-0. Brockett converted a great Little feed at 11:08 to bump it to 4-0. Brendan Mason added his name to the scoring list when he converted a nice feed from Chad Ziegler with 2:33 left in the frame.
The Elis did not let up in the second, though it took a while to find the net again. Brockett's second came at 10:30 on a nifty backhander from the low slot. Shortly after, the home team connected a pretty pair of passes that ended up on the stick of newcomer Antoine Laganiere, whose shot from the low slot went inside the left post.
UOIT was countering Yale's speed advantage with overzealous stick play and some hitting after the whistle. Bulldogs' captain Ryan Donald skated into a minor scuffle to support a teammate who had been driven into the boards from a compromising position. The result was two UOIT game misconducts as well as one for Donald.
Less than a minute after the ejections, Andrew Miller one-timed a Laganiere crossing feed midway through the third to make it 8-0.
"Everyone gets excited about who is in the lineup on the first night," said Allain, when asked how difficult the decision was on the travel squad for the season opener. "Everyone on the roster gets a chance to contribute to the success of this team."

Torpedoed by SubtitlesHaving a plan is key to the success of any aspect of a project and prepping for subtitling is no exception
(Special Thanks to www.revuptransmedia.com)
A video or film project's titles provide crucial information to the viewer, whether it's the opening and closing credits identifying a video or film, the principals involved (the talent and production crew), or lower thirds, the nouns of video, identifying the people, places and things being viewed. Subtitles play a significant role, particularly in editorial or documentary work, in a number of ways. Subtitles make clear speech or dialog that is difficult to hear or understand, as when people mumble or use unfamiliar dialects; provide language translations for viewers to better understand dialog in foreign languages, especially if the video is produced in a language not native to the viewer; and to make your film or video more accessible to viewers with hearing impairments.
While the process of creating subtitles is simple, it is often time consuming and tedious work. Any number of workflows can be employed to streamline the process, from leveraging the many software packages designed specifically for creating subtitles, to the simple, brute force typing of many interns. Regardless of how you create subtitles, it's invaluable, if not exciting work.
So what is the best way to provide subtitles for a project? This tutorial will be a guide towards not getting torpedoed by subtitles.
I Love It When a Plan Comes Together
Having a plan is key to the success of any aspect of a project and prepping for subtitling is no exception. You should identify going into the project what the needs and requirements are going to be with regards to the project's subtitles. Some basic questions to consider include:
- Are you subtitling the entire work or just portions of it?
- What languages do I need to support?
- Where can I get translators for the supported languages?
- Who will be checking/verifying the translation/transcription?
- Do I have the most up-to-date script?
- When do I start translating the script?
- Will a script be provided or I have to transcribe the audio?
- Did the talent follow the script or is there adlibbed dialog?
- Who will transcribe the audio?
- What did that person actually say?
- Will you be able to speak with the speaker who actually said that?
- How else can I find out what that person said?
- Should I hire a lip reader?
- Who will be adding the titles to the video?
- And the dreaded: What is my deadline?
Working from a script is infinitely easier than transcribing audio, but in either case, having a text file of the words to be subtitled simplifies creating the actual, being able to copy and paste rather than constantly retyping.
You also need to double-check and verify the work of your transcribers and translators to ensure that what is said is correctly transcribed and translations have the correct references and context for a couple of reasons. First, while American English has only one word for snow, various Eskimo languages have up to seven. You want to be sure that the correct references be made. Second, you need to allow for when the talent's dialog varies from the written script.
Never Underestimate a Good Mechanic
Now we'll dive into the mechanics of creating a subtitle in Final Cut Pro and then later we'll highlight a few procedures that can improve your subtitling workflow.
From the Dock or the Applications Folder, Launch Final Cut Pro.
In the Project Browser double-click to select the project to be subtitled.
In the Project Timeline play the project until you get to the first bit of dialog that needs subtitles. Listen to the entire line of dialog before you create the title then move the playhead back to the beginning of the line.
In the Toolbar, click the T button to display the Titles Browser. You can also choose Window > Media Browser > Titles. The Titles button will change to blue.
In the Titles Browser, click to select the Bumper/Opener category.
Titles are organized into several categories to make it quicker and easier to locate an appropriate title for your needs.
In the Titles Browser, double-click the Basic Title to add it to your project at the current playhead location.
A light purple Title clip appears connected to the video clip of the main storyline at the playhead location. Optionally, you could drag the Basic Title from the Titles Browser to the Project's playhead location.
You can add the Basic Title at any time by pressing the Control - T keyboard shortcut, or Press Control - Shift - T to add the Lower Third title. The titles will be connected to the primary storyline clips at the current playhead location.
Now you'll edit the title and its default attributes to suite your specific needs. But before you start editing you should add the title safe indicators to the viewer and open up the Inspector.
In the Viewer click the Viewer Display Options button and select Show Title/Action Safe Zones from the Menu.
Two yellow concentric rectangles appear in the viewer as guides for placing text onscreen so that it can be viewed properly on any display. By keeping your titles within the inner rectangle you ensure the titles are visible no matter how the video is viewed.
In the Toolbar click the Inspector button, or press the Command-4 keys on the keyboard, to open the Inspector.
The Inspector provides access to the attributes you can modify for your titles. Now you can start editing the title.
In the Timeline, select the title, and then in the Viewer, double-click on the Title to enter the edit title mode.
You can now make the necessary changes to the subtitle. Notice that the text is already selected and ready to be replaced with the actual title text.
Type your title text. In this example I've typed, "In the wilds of Las Vegas, sights are remarkably diverse."
In the Inspector click the Title Tab at the top if it's not already selected.
The Title Inspector has four tabs across the top; Title shows the title text and duration as well as any published parameters from Motion. Many of Final Cut Pro's effects, including titles, are actually Motion projects, which can be customized in Motion. An upcoming tutorial will discuss how to do just that. The Text tab is where you'll make most of the adjustments to the title text attributes. The Video Tab displays the Title's video attributes and Info displays the Title's metadata.
Click the Text Tab to select it.
The Text tab has four sections, the Style Menu, Text Field, Basic and Effects. There are many attributes in this tab that can be changed, but the Style Menu speeds up the process by changing many attributes as a group. The Basic section lets you make typeface and font changes as well as alignment and spacing adjustments. The Effects section has settings for Face (changes to Fill and Opacity), Glow, Outline, and Shadow. The Text Field provides another way to modify the actual text of a title besides the Viewer. We'll select a style and then make some additional manual adjustments.
In the Text Inspector, click on the Style Menu, which currently says Normal, and briefly scroll thought the list of styles to see what styles are already available, then choose Basic Text + Shadow.
The Basic Text + Shadow style set some basic type and Face attributes and adds a drop shadow to the text.
If you don't see any styles in the Style Menu then you will need to install the additional Final Cut Pro Content. Simply run Software Update, or download from Apple's Support site and install manually.
In the Basic section of the Text Inspector make the following changes:
From the font Menu choose Arial Bold.
Set the Size to 60.
Leave the remaining settings at their defaults.
In the Viewer drag the Position Button down to reposition the title so that it sits on the bottom of the inner Title Safe rectangle.
Most subtitles sit at or near the bottom of the screen. To keep the title centered, enable snapping (choose View > Snapping or press the N key). With snapping enabled, dynamic guides will appear as you drag to help align titles or other video elements within the video frame or with each other.
Press the Escape key on the keyboard to exit the text-editing mode.
You have successfully created the first subtitle in your project, only 497 more to do.
Second Verse Same as the First
- To add additional subtitles simply do the following:
- In the Timeline, select the current title and press Command - C to copy it.
- The current title has all the necessary formatting, so copying and pasting the modified title means all you have to do is change the text.
- In the Timeline play the video until the next line of dialog to be subtitled.
- Press Command - V to paste the copied title at the current playhead location.
- In the Viewer, double-click on the title and type in the new text.
- Press Escape on the keyboard to exit the title-editing mode.
- Repeat Steps 1-6 until you have added all the required subtitles.
Now that you have the mechanics of creating subtitles, let's look at some strategies for managing the subtitling workflow. While you could just keep doing the previous steps, because of the nonlinear nature of many projects, it may not be the most efficient method.
See Spot Subtitle, Run Spot Run
One thing that can help speed up a subtitling workflow is spotting. Spotting is the process of viewing the video and determining the placement of the subtitles, usually recording the starting and ending timecode for the subtitle's location along with cue words from the dialog for reference. You can record the spotting data in a database or spreadsheet, which can then be used to subtitle the clips later.
You can also spot the subtitles in Final Cut Pro by adding markers to clips in the Timeline, for at least the starting subtitle position, or both beginning and ending, if you so choose.
If you don't have the actual subtitle text finalized, you can still add placeholder subtitles, actual subtitle clips in their respective locations in the Timeline, but with dummy text instead of the final text. Once the final text is approved, just go back and change the text in the subtitles.
Whenever possible, have a text file with the dialog translation or transcription that you can work with. Copying and pasting titles from a word processor into Final Cut Pro is easier than having to retype each line manually.
The Overlapped and the Long-Winded
Finally, there are two situations that make subtitling some passages a bit difficult. One is overlapping dialog, where two or more characters are speaking at the same time, or background audio, like from a radio or television, running at the same time as the dialog. The other is when someone is speaking a long passage or speech without many breaks.
The second case is easier to manage by carefully breaking up the text. The first case may require multiple lines of subtitles on screen, which is okay, but you want to keep it to two whenever possible and no more than three otherwise the titles take over the screen. For background elements, you may need to add an identifier, radio, television, or woman behind door, etc., to the subtitle, to help indicate what's producing the dialog.
However you create them, subtitles are an important way to make your project more accessible to viewers.

As T-Mobile continues to prepare their LTE network for consumer use, its handsets are being updated with the appropriate firmware to take advantage of the LTE-capable radios already on board. Today, an update for the T-Mobile branded Samsung Galaxy Note II is being pushed out that does just that.
Packaged in the form of Android 4.1.2, T-Mobile's Galaxy Note II is officially ready to take advantage of Magenta's brand new LTE network. Weighing in at just 9MB, this update is a small one, only including a few, "various device improvements," along with LTE compatibility.
To check if the update is available now for your device, from the home screen press the menu key, enter the settings, enter the "About phone" section of the settings, and finally press "Software Update." It's as simple as that. If the update isn't available quite yet, don't worry, it will be soon. You can also install Samsung's Kies software, but waiting for the over the air update is much easier.
T-Mobile's LTE network was recently tested by several sites, and speeds were in the range of 60Mbps for download, and 20Mbps for upload. Once LTE is widely available, real world speeds are expected to hover around 20Mbps down and 10Mbps up.

Can you pick the ganache filled sandwich cookie on the cover of this September 1989 issue of Chocolatier Magazine? No, it's not a trick. And to prove it, who ever gets the right answer, wins a prize!!! There is a slight hitch though. There are actually two rows of ganache filled sandwich cookies on this cover. You need to guess them both.
Here's a better picture. (click to enlarge)
Remember the other day when I did that post for Black Forest Cake Day, well, when I read in the Cake Doctor that the French translation for the word Fool is Ganache, I just couldn't help but to make note and share a bit of ganache today. I know I might be going out on a limb here but hey, it is April Fool's Day so "foolery" is acceptable.
Is set apart for All Fool's Day
But on this day are people sent
On purpose for pure merriment.
No one really knows who invented ganache. Some say it originated in Switzerland where it was used as a base for truffles. Others say it was invented in Paris. Ganache stems from a culinary accident that went amiss. Supposedly, a chocolatier's apprentice spilled cream in the chocolate he was melting. The chef, angry at the lad, called him a "Ganache." I don't know how true it is but I'd say that boy made one delicious blunder!!!
Macaron Ganache Filling: Ganche is a mid 19th century invention of simply pouring equal portions of hot cream over broken chocolate, and then stirring the mixture until it is completely smooth. Though both Switzerland and Paris claim the invention, for the macaron it was the Parisian Pierre Desfontaines, the grandson of Louis Ernest Ladurée, who got the idea of placing a layer of chocolate ganache between two single macaron cookies while on a trip to Switzerland. (About Macarons)
If you have a moment, stop by the Fun & Food Blog for an instructive and informative post which also includes 2 ways for making Chocolate Ganache. If you find yourself experimenting with the versatility of ganache, Janet at Dying for Chocolate has suggestions for leftover ganache. You can always send it my way. I won't mind at all:) Marilyn @ Simmer till Done, has a rather amusing post along with directions for making ganache. I've also left a decadent list of resources and recipe links below. If I were you, my first stop would be Joe Pastry. Did you know you could make ganache with crème fraîche? While I was there, I discovered a cake I had never heard of before; Marjolain. I'm sure most of you have but for me, my visit was quite enlightening.
Here's another boo boo...
Shortly after the marriage of Napoleon with Maria-Louisa, daughter of the Emperor of Austria, some political measures were adopted by the Austrian Court which were contrary to the views of Bonaparte. On receiving the news he said: "The Emperor of Austria is une vieille ganache (an old fool)." Marie-Louisa was present, but never having heard the expression before, she did not understand it.
Soon after, when she was alone with her husband, she asked him the meaning of the word ganache; but unwilling to tell her the true signification, he said: "Oh, it means a man of great experience and good understanding."
On the following day, the Chancellor Cambaceres waited on the Empress with an address of congratulation on her marriage, and wishing to pay him a compliment in her reply, she thanked him heartily, saying she considered him the greatest ganache in the empire.
The courtiers were astonished and confounded; but of course they withdrew without making any observation. The circumstance came shortly to the ears of Napoleon, who laughed heartily at it, and during some weeks it was a topic of pleasantry in all Paris, the Empress herself being the only person who remained ignorant of the blunder she had committed. (French Wit and Humor; 1902)
I'd love to go on and on about the virtues of ganache but I have "important" food celebrations to investigate. It's April! and Kasha has a Spring Cupcake Bouquet just for you, and me:) A red * denotes a previous post. I must apologize. I didn't get a chance to check links on this month's previous posts...

For centuries, the first of April has been observed as April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day. In many lands the custom of dispatching persons on fruitless errands has long been practiced. In Scotland, this was called "hunting the gowk." (Gowk being a common expression for a cuckoo, which is reckoned one of the most silly of the feathered tribe.) In France, a person who was fooled in this way was dubbed a "poisson d' Avril" or an April fish. Mentioned in Brady's Clavis Calendaria by John Brady, this probably evolved because of the season in which young fish were easy to catch; they were known as less wise and foolish fish caught by deception. Last year I went a little *Topsy Turvey on April Fool's Day. (you should pop over if only to see the Humpty Dumpty Cake:)
The Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company was founded on April 1, 1891 originally selling products such as soap and baking powder. In 1892, William Wrigley, Jr., the company's founder, began offering chewing gum with each can of baking powder. The chewing gum eventually became more popular than the baking powder itself and Wrigley's reoriented the company to produce the popular chewing gum.

The French king Charlemagne also played an important role in the history of Roquefort. It is said that he was passing through the region of Aveyron, when he was served a moldy cheese by his host. The king carefully set about cutting off the unappetizing parts of the cheese, until his host dared explain to him that the mold was what gave this cheese all its flavor. Charlemagne found the cheese to be so much to his liking that he requested that cartloads of Roquefort cheese be sent to his residence in the north of France every year.(Easy French Food)Today is Good Friday.

Partizan Belgrade have denied speculation that a deal has already been agreed with Chelsea for the signing of Lazar Markovic.
The 18-year-old Serbian international is regarded as one of the finest talents in European football, becoming an international regular after helping his club side to the domestic title.
However, reports in the player's homeland that the Blues have agreed a deal for the player appear premature, with Partizan director of sport Ljubisa Tumbakovic strenuously denying that the final details are currently being negotiated.
"I swear on my mother that I really do not know anything about this (Chelsea deal)," Tumbakovic told Sportski Zurnal.
"On Saturday I spoke with club president Dragan Djuric and he also told me that he knows nothing about Markovic's transfer to Chelsea. I don't know, he doesn't know. Maybe the journalists have better information than us in the club."
The Daily Mail reported yesterday that Chelsea were 'finalising' an £8 million deal for the forward, beating the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal and Inter Milan to the player's signature in a transfer that would eventually cost around £14 million with add-ons.
That does not appear to be the case though, with the Crno-beli aiming to keep hold of a player who penned a five-year deal at the Partizan Stadium last summer.
Chelsea – currently in Japan for the FIFA Club World Cup – will hold discussions on transfer targets whilst in Asia, according to the Mail report, with Andre Schurrle and Damba Ba amongst the possible Stamford Bridge targets.

McNally resigns as Duke head coach
Former Blue Devil went 192-198-1 since the 2006 season
DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke Vice President and Director of Athletics Kevin White announced the resignation of head coach Sean McNally on Wednesday. McNally has served as the Blue Devils baseball coach since the 2006 season.
"I would like to thank Duke University and Duke Athletics for the amazing opportunity to have served as the head baseball coach at my alma mater for the last seven years," said McNally. "I am very proud of all that we have accomplished on the field, in the classroom, and in the community during my tenure. The effort to become a consistent winning baseball program in Atlantic Coast Conference play has been exhausting and the results have been disappointing. I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and seeking out a new professional challenge going forward. My biggest thank you goes to all of my players for their hard work and incredible effort. I will miss the daily interactions with the players and participating in their personal and athletic development the most."
In seven seasons at Duke, McNally compiled an overall record of 192-198-1 (.491), including a 63-145-1 (.301) mark in the ACC. The Blue Devils completed the 2012 season with a 21-34 ledger. Duke finished last in the ACC standings with a 9-21 conference mark and failed to make the eight-team ACC Tournament for the sixth time in seven years. It was the second consecutive losing season for McNally after four consecutive winning campaigns.
McNally led his alma mater to four consecutive winning seasons (2007-10) and his 192 career victories rank third on Duke's all-time wins list.
McNally enjoyed his best season in 2009 when the Blue Devils went 35-24 overall and 15-15 in ACC play. Duke's 15 wins in the ACC set a school record for the most conference victories in a season. The Blue Devils finished seventh in the ACC standings that year and advanced to the ACC Tournament for the first time since 2005. Duke came within one game of reaching the conference championship before falling 11-7 to eventual ACC Champion and College World Series participant Virginia.
Duke's standout 2009 season followed a stellar 2008 campaign that saw the Blue Devils post a 37-18-1 record. The 37 wins rank as the fourth-most wins in school history. The 2008 squad posted a perfect 27-0 non-conference record along with 10 ACC wins and three ACC series victories.
McNally mentored 13 Major League Baseball draftees, four Freshman All-Americans and six All-ACC selections during his tenure, including the 2010 ACC Freshman of the Year in Marcus Stroman. McNally oversaw a program that placed an ACC-leading 33 players on the Academic All-ACC Baseball Team and more than 100 selections to the ACC Academic Honor Roll.
During his playing career at Duke, McNally was a four-year starter who served as team captain in his final two seasons. As a senior in 1994, he received All-ACC honors and set single-season school records for batting average (.408) and slugging percentage (.775) while finishing the season with 89 hits, 19 doubles, eight triples, 17 home runs and 71 RBI. He ranks among the top five in school history with 17 triples and 181 RBI in his career and among the top 10 in runs scored, batting average, hits, home runs, doubles and slugging percentage.
Following his nine-year stint as a professional player and his three-year run as a hitting coach and manager in the Cleveland Indians organization, McNally was named Duke baseball's 24th head coach on July 15, 2005.
Edwin Thompson, an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator the past two seasons, will serve as the interim coach until a permanent replacement is announced. A national search for Duke's next head baseball coach will begin immediately.
